Migrants this morning, as autumn slowly grinds on, were 2 Sedge Warbler, Lapwing & Reed Warbler. Southbound 23 Black-headed Gull, 2 Grey Heron, Common Tern, Med Gull & Oyk with northbound 18 Swift, 2 Med Gull & Common Scoter. Are Sedgies starting to leave earlier in the autumn if they are arriving & breeding earlier in the spring - who knows ?
Black Arches are, apparently, common inland with this one our first for four years & only the ninth year we have ever noted it in. Some species just don't wander much.
Ringing: 2 Dunnock, 2 Sedge Warbler, 1 Linnet, 1 Reed Warbler, 1 Whitethroat.
